The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I have been sick and this book was exactly what I needed for a long weekend home in bed. It creates a very good feeling--that there are lots of people out there willing to help their neighbor at their own expense. Has me questioning why I don't know my neighbors very well, and why so much has changed in neighborhoods in general. Anyway, it is very uplifting and has some really funny moments. All about post WWII and how the people cheered themselves up. Nice little romance in it also.

I have read many books in the last few days, but another of note is And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander. I picked it up because it said lovers of Anne Perry and Elizabeth Peters would enjoy it. It did not disappoint. Suspenseful and romantic historical novel. Full of feisty women who break the rules etc.
